Random Stuff From Some Random Guy

what was wrong with me. I try and make time for friends, but the more I try, the less I manage. I am depressed. Severely – and I just feel that being around people in the current state of mind I am in does no one any good – especially those that consider me to be a friend. I mean who wants to hang out with a person whose only reason for living is to make sure his dogs don’t starve?

Well, today was an interesting one. I had a doctor’s appointment seeing as my lab results came back finally – I had blood drawn, pee… donated? I was poked, prodded, squeezed, examined, looked upon and studied.

After much soul searching and and careful weighing of options, I have decided to go play for the other team.

*drops to my knees*

I am now a Republican.

I realize that there will never be another perfect world, with William Jefferson Clinton at the helm, leading us across a grand sea of relative peace, and .96 cent gas. I realize that there will never be another fucked up world with George W. Bush leading us to a hell with no science or reason. I realize that while I didn’t vote for John McCain – who would have gotten my vote, had it not been for his ‘I love Mexicans’ bs a few years before the election -I did waste my vote for Obama – not because he was black, as most voters did, but because I was caught up in the he’s not Bush moment, and Biden was his running mate.

My list of the 10 most important songs to me – Like if I were somehow stuck on an island all by myself until the end of time, these 10 songs would be all I would ever listen to.

10. Breaking Benjamin – Blow Me Away. This is my War Anthem. This is the song that hammers my ears in my headphones when I play Call Of Duty 4 on XBL.

09. Breaking Benjamin – Unknown Soldier. Same as #10, but for games like RS:V & Forza 2. Similar to Blow Me Away.

08. Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood. I do a lot of writing while listening to this song. 75(ish)% of all my blog posts are written to this little tune. Love it!

07. Blur – Song 2. This… Believe it or not… is my Tommy’s feeling goofy song. Whenever I hear this song, I get outta my seat and dance around… in all my white, rhythm-less glory.

06. Alice In Chains – Rooster. I have a reason this song is here, I just can’t put it into words at 7 AM. Just know that this is one of the best songs ever.

05. Otis Redding – Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay. I don’t remember when or where this song gained a place in my heart, but I do remember this song playing… somewhere back when I was a wee lad of about 9, and hanging out with the two Davids. Its been years and years since I last saw David R, I heard a rumor during my freshman year in high school that he was in juvenile hall (fuck calling it ‘Juvie’, I am 30-goddamn-years-old) because he forced himself on a girl. David C. graduated a year before me, and by then, he was just beginning his downward spiral into heroin addiction. Last I saw him, he was working in one of the local Walmart’s, and living with his girlfriend in his grandmother’s trailer. It’s odd to realize that of the three of us, I am the normal one.

04. No Doubt – Don’t Speak. This was the song that I listened to over and over and over again for about a week after Bacon said she never wanted to speak to me again and that she hoped my legs fall off. I won’t go into why, but suffice to say that I was a douchebag of epic proportions to her, hurt her feelers, and generally broke her spirit in half. Thankfully, the spirit has been superglued back together, and we are still friends.

03. Pearl Jam – Even Flow. Perhaps my favorite song of all-fucking-time. No matter what sort of bad mood I am in, This song is the cure for it, and puts me on top of the world. This is also the only song I ever aced on Medium with the CONTROLLER in Guitar Hero.

02 Red Hot Chili Peppers – Soul to Squeeze. My Happy song. It’s tied with Even Flow for my favorite song of all-fucking-time. That is all.

01. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge. My Sorrow/death song. This is the song I listen to when I feel like hell, and I need to cry. Has been since the first time I heard it, always will be.

Note: This was a short list. In thinking about it, if I had the desire to make this list… say 20 or so titles long, there would be Sublime, Hendrix, Nirvana, White Zombie/Rob Zombie, Filter, R.A.T.M, Smashing Pumpkins, Phil Collins, Green Day, and more here.

BTW, I is commonly known amongst the inner circle of friends that I do indeed have Kenny Loggins’ Highway to the Danger Zone on my 360’s hard drive specifically to listen to when I fly the F-14 Tomcat in HAWX. Yes, I know this makes me a huge fucking nerd, but goddamnit, when one feels the need for speed, what else can one do?…
